Publisher's Summary

Kim Cash Tate’s debut novel celebrates the power of female friendship and the never-ceasing faithfulness of God.

Cydney Sanders thought she knew God's plan for her life. She'd marry, have kids, and then snap her body back into shape with exercise. But she's celebrating her 40th birthday as the maid of honor at her little sister's wedding...and still single. Now her life is suddenly complicated by the best man. He's the opposite of what she wants in a husband...and yet, he keeps defying her expectations. Starting with a lavender rose - symbolizing enchantment - each rose he sends her reflects his growing love for her. 

Cydney's best friend, Dana, appears to have the perfect marriage - until she discovers her husband's affair and her world goes into a tailspin. Then there is Phyllis, who is out of hope and out of prayers after asking God for six long years to help her husband find faith. When she runs into an old friend who is the Christian man she longs for, she's faced with an overwhelming choice. 

Lifelong friends with life-altering struggles. Will they trust God's faithfulness...and find strength to be faithful to him?

Patiently waiting

I have been on this book!! Ever since Hope Springs, I have waiting on Kim Cash Tate’s next book. So far it is very good. It is nice to have realistic Christian content to read. I pray that this books blesses everyone who comes in contact with it.

Yes yes and yes

I've loved this book from beginning to end. All the situations were very realistic and relatable. Most of all I love the presence of God throughout the entire book. Unlike other so called "Christian" books this one actually is and it's still entertaining.

I'll probably listen to it again once I've forgotten it a bit lol

Beautiful Story

I enjoyed the plot and surprises. I also appreciate the wisdom of The Word of God throughout. Blessings!

A true blessing

I never realized how weak my prayers had been until I heard the prayers in the book! I love the relatable storyline between the 3 friends. And how they dealt with each situation between the friends my favorite is Syd and how she stood her ground and was so disciplined for God! How they prayed for and about everything. my relatable was Phil story is some what similar except the part with her husband mom having an affair with the pastor instead when he was in the streets a pastor husband brought drug from him and he couldn't believe it... so he decided that all pastors and ministers are probably on drug. It's a struggle for him to come to church... still praying about it...

This book is childish

I can even finish, the woman and their “ Christian“ faith was so bad. Your husband cheats and in your home, All is forgiven. She gets with the player and she good. She have a disagreement with her husband and the marriage is over! Make it make sense, this is a very poor representation of having faith means. If you going to write a book get familiar with the faith. This book was all kinds of misguided information about woman of faith. But don’t sprinkle faith here and there and label it love for “God”. Keep the faith! This was a mess, ppl want to have their on rules on how to truly follow God, it doesn’t work that way.

Hooked on every word

Love the way this story plays out! These stories are very real and ones that I’ve experienced in my own life . I was very pleased with how they were played out and how they concluded. Love Kim Cash state books!

Such an endearing live story

Cyd was so gracious. I’m still mad at her sister! Lol. You’ll need to read it to understand why. But the grace and patience she had to exude was inspiring. So many lessons in this book. Mainly, holding on when you feel overlooked!
I love Kim’s writing style. She has the right formula for sure. Funny, entertains, and teaches. The characters feel like your own friends and family! Look forward to reading more from Mrs. Tate!

Good Read!

Glad I came across this novel. Very refreshing story on love, faith ,.forgiveness, friends and family....

an uplifting and inspiring story

Loved loved loved it.
In short, it is an uplifting and inspiring story about God's love, gtace and faithfulness even for all of us in spite of all our shortcomings and mistakes.

It is so nice to read a christian wholesome and clean story of romance and friendship that offers a realistic view of what it is to be a Christian.

Christians are also people like everyone else and they only manage to overcome by leaning on the power, the grace and faithfulness of God.

I love how the book spoke about the struggles of adultery, singleness, backsliding through childhood trauma and even briefly touched on the issue of losing a spouse. It offered a light in the end of the tunnel through forgiveness that does not come without accountability. Also talked about how easily we can slip into any sins (even those we never thought we would commit) if we don't keep our focus on God and if we are not honest with ourselves.
It reminds us that even when we fall, when we ignore God, He is always there, arms opened ready to catch us if and when we decide to go back to Him.

Huge thanks to Kim for such a wonderful and uplifting book.
